NASA plans to build railways on the Moon in the coming years, as the US and the countries that signed the “Artemis” agreements plan to mine the Moon. According to a report in the New York Post, the space agency plans to build a “flexible orbital lift,” a system that would allow minerals to be transported without the need for human intervention. Specifically, the space trains will use non-powered magnetically polarized robots to hover over a three-layer track made of flexible membranes. A layer of graphite will keep them afloat, and a layer of flex-circuit will generate electromagnetic thrust to propel the robots along the tracks in a controlled manner. Thus, they will operate autonomously in the inhospitable lunar environment, without the need for astronauts.
